hotness in phoenix

We're home from our many adventures in two different states. First, we spent 3 days, 4 nights in Phoenix with our friends, the Pfeiffers. I believe the temp every day we were there was over 105. Aron described the landscape as "lunar" yet it had a familiar quality about it and we likened it to Southern California with no ocean. Spending time with our friends was refreshing; we enjoyed many good conversations about life, family, and community. We met several of their friends over a salmon and veggie dinner on Saturday night; a wonderful, relaxing time all around. Aron and I were both impressed with how well Eric and Kandi are training their children; they are loving and consistent. Their kiddos were much fun to be around and Charity's quick wit kept us laughing. They both really enjoyed Maggie, too and it was neat to watch them interact. Many thanks, you guys, for the Starbucks, the good eats, and the good conversations. We love you!

  2. We were SO close!!! :) 10 minutes from Phoenix!! You missed the big heat wave! We will be celebrating the 4th tomorrow and it's supposed to be 117 degrees! Um. HOT!!! :) Looks like you had fun, though! We go home to NC on Saturday. Not really ready, which is the odd part.

  3. There is nothing like being in the company of old friends. :) Love the shot of Mags in her bikini -- those legs! And you are looking mighty pretty, my dear.

  4. ok, lindsey just told me all about the airport/rental car/flight/airline worker drama--and i just kept thinking to myself "holy crap. that sucks. are you kidding me?" maybe not the most refined sentences, yet, that is in fact what i kept thinking. what a mess. it makes a great story (and trust me, im a fan of stories), but some things just arent worth having a story later. glad you all made it to and from and here and there and back and forth and stuff.

    J, thanks for feeling our airport pain. I did end up posting the story. I'm sure Linds did a great job retelling it all, though. you are one of my favorite storytellers. it's true.

  6. So is the 'hotness in phoenix' you're referring to, you?!! Shan's right, you look fabulous in that first picture. Sounds like (other than the airport stuff) you had a wonderful trip! Buck's fam is planning a reunion in Estes Park next summer--can hardly wait!
